Hey Jennifer! I used about 5 teabags, popped them in a bowl with hot water, just enough to cover them and when the water cooled down i used the teabags like a sponge and just wiped the paper until it was covered and dark enough, super easy! x

Seeing this project (and all the work you put into cutting the hearts out), made me think – there are probably lots of people cutting lots of things out for their weddings! If you don't have hands of steel (or I guess incredible endurance), but still want to craft with paper that needs to be cut out in mass quantities, it might be worth asking your local library children's department or teacher friends if they have an Ellison die cut machine (http://www.ellison.com)you can use. They're freakin' expensive, but these sorts of places usually have them and if you provide paper, you might be able to convince them to let you use theirs. One library in my area actually has die cut machines that anyone can go up and just use if they bring their own paper. Just a thought!
